    Looks lovely Radish - we're also going to try to go to Havana overnight while we're there.
    Not sure we'll manage it though as it's bit of a walk! (About 500k i think!)

    I have read some great reviews about the place so glad to hear on here too that it's lovely! Getting very excited now!

    No feedback from the viewing yet - wonder how long it will take?

    Hope you get good news about the viewing, maybe ring and chase the EA for feedback in the morning if you've heard nothing.

    How lovely that you've got a fab holiday to look forward to.x
    Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams :)

    Back from Cuba - had a nice time but probably not a destination we'll go back to - Mr C wasn't well and the mozzies were a NIGHTMARE!
    Radish - mojitos in tact, but if there's shortage of pina coladas it might well be my fault!
    No offer from the house viewing, and no other viewings lined up so all quiet on the house front.
    Just doing some serious financial planing for the next few months - planning to save as much as possible to minimise any future mortgage or any drop in price I might have to make on my house.
    Back at work in a few days - it's all over already!
    Hope all well.

    But Pina Colada's are my second favorite drink :(

    I will add repellent to our holiday shopping list as only 20 days till we go

    Sat here waiting for a viewing at BF house, we did some de-cluttering and I know that when he is next at mine he will open the cupboards and do the same to me :rotfl:

    Definitely take anti-mozzie stuff as they were awful, but hopefully they will have subsided a bit by the time you go - apparently July and August are the months they're worst!

    Mr C ended up having cortisone injections, but at least his blood was sweeter than mine so I wasn't too badly affected! I could rent him out at a very reasonable cost......
